4.1 Default settings (continued)
4.1.1 Combining default settings
Additionally to the theme-based default settings there are two more
categories: Custom and All. Your custom-made default settings will
be saved under Custom while All will let you combine all available
default settings.
The default settings have diverging functions that you can find on the
right of the respective preview image.
The top two functions are available for all
default settings:
Duplicate: With this you can copy the default
settings into the Custom category.
Restore to saved default settings: This function resets the default setting to a saved state.
You can modify the default settings without worrying about losing
them because you can always reset them to their default state.
The three functions below these two are only available for your
custom-made default settings in order to protect your installed data.
That way it is assured that all the default settings from your installation are always available to you and cannot be deleted or modified by
accident.
Overwrite default setting: If you click on this function, the default
settings will be overwritten with the current settings. The previous
settings will be lost.
Rename default setting: Use this function to rename your default
setting. Enter the new name and confirm by clicking OK.
Delete default setting: In order to delete a preset permanently, click
on this function. After confirming that you really want to delete it, this
default setting will be erased from your system.
Use the button Combine
default settings directly
underneath the categories to
combine two default settings.
In the top part of the window
you can choose two existing
default settings from the list
and combine them to form a
new default setting by clicking
on the button Combine. This
new setting will be saved to
your Custom default settings.
Our example shows a combination of the default settings
artistic fluid and natural
brighten to a new default setting Custom fluid + brighten, which leads to radiant colours similar to
a Bokeh effect (see image below).
Note: The sequence that you use to combine the default settings has
a major influence on your result. Test different variants and you will
often produce surprising image effects!
